If there was one thing Aizawa hated, it was sunlight. It was too bright, too annoying and too hot, making sleep impossible… Night was where he shone, ironically, so it annoyed him to no end that he was the official playground monitor. The man winced when another kid screamed loudly, laughing as they all ran around having fun.
As much as he griped though, he supposed Yagi was right. This was better than being bathroom monitor like he was…
Then again bathroom monitor was a single job. Out here not only was he in the sunlight, he was also with-
"HELLO LISTENERS!"
Fuckin' Hizashi.
All the kids jumped excitedly as the blonde man struck a pose. "Let all remember to not eat sand out of the sandbox, ok!" He smiled, pointing down at Rikido quickly.
"It's mud pies!" The round boy pouted.
"It's just mud!" Hizashi responded with the same upbeat voice.
Aizawa was already sure he would have gone home to kill himself after today, had he not had cats to take care of. Reo, Kimba and Kuro were lucky he gave such a damn about them…
Aizawa, not for the first time today, felt a hand pull on his pant leg. He turned with a frown to find a small redhead with spikey teeth, Eijiro Kirishima. The boy smiled up at hims and cocked his head.
"Can I help you?" Aizawa asked.
"Nope!" The boy said, shaking his head. "I just wanted to say your hair is pretty!"
"..." Aizawa raised a brow.
"Especially the hair on your lip!"
He took a deep breath, starting to respond, but thought better of it and just sighed. "Thank you."
The boy bounced on his feet excitedly. "You're welcome!" Then ran off like he had places to be.
Kids were very strange little creatures. Especially when you looked at them as a whole. He let his gaze drift over the playground at random. Across the yard, near the fence, Orhaco had conceived a handful of kids to play tag. She, Izuku, Mina and a boy named Mezo Shoji, who had a quirk with extra arms, were running around and burning off energy. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a boy named Shoto Todoroki, son of Enji Todoroki, sat on the swings by himself, kicking his legs back and forth quietly.
Honestly Aizawa was a little worried about the kid. Enji was the second most famous hero, Endeavor, and he was kind of a tool bag. He wouldn't put it past the jerk to be as shitty a father as he was a responsible hero.
Movement caught Aizawa's eye and he looked to the center of the black top where Tsuyu was playing. She was having a game of leap frog, surprise, surprise, with her toy Chōyaku-Chan, by throwing it out in front of them, hopping over it, then repeating. This was a kid who needed to get out more and spend time with other children…
"YEEEAAAHHHH!" Eijiro screamed, returning Aizawa's attention to him as he ran up the wrong end of the slide. He leap over a blonde boy named Mashirao Ojiro who was sliding down, just missing the kid's tail with his feet. Eijiro then ran down the play structure, still screaming, jumping off the climbing end to the playground bellow. He landed beside Koji, scaring the poor mute's squirrel friends away as he went. Eijiro wasn't done yet however, as he kept running, and screaming, going towards Tsuyu. The girl saw him coming however and paused when he joined her game momentarily, hoping over both her her and her stuffed frog.
Aizawa felt a vein in his head throb.
"Ah the innocence and energy of youth," Hizashi chuckled beside him.
"All of it wasted on the young," Aizawa muttered.
"Ah, don't be like that!" Hizashi said. "Kids need positive vibes and encouragement! Watch and learn." The blonde walked out to the middle of the playground, looking over the kids before he spotted one boy with glasses, standing alone by the wall. "Well hey there kiddo, what's your name?"
The boy looked up as Hizashi approached, adjusting his glasses. "Iida Tenya. My brother's Ingenium."
"Oh cool," Hizashi smiled. "Nice guy that Ingenium…. Uh, say I noticed you weren't running around with the other kids!"
"I can't run."
"Well why not!?" Hizashi asked brightly. "It's a lot of fun! All the other kids are doing it and they're having a blast!"
"I can't."
"Aww, give it a shot there Iida! I'm sure the other kids would let you play!"
"I think so to, but I can't run cause- ugh…" The boy frowned, clearly trying to convey what he ment, but failing to find the words. Finally he just sighed and took off his glasses. "I'll show you."
Hizashi took them in confusion, the boy doing a very strange walk out onto the black top before starting to run. Everything seemed fine, until-
VRRRRRR!
"AAAH!" As the boy ran, his quirk suddenly activated, sending him off at high speeds with the motors in his legs. He didn't seem to know how to stop. Most of the other children looked up when he shouted, but that didn't keep him from knocking Orhaco to the ground and going face first into the chain link fence. "OGH!" Thankfully his quirk seemed to stop, but not before he was left with a solid grid marking pattern on his face.
"Uh oh…" Hizashi murmured, running to the boy, glasses in hand. Aizawa took a second to enjoy his friends misfortune.
Until it became his, as Orchaco lifted herself off the ground and began to sob loudly. Aizawa winced and knew he'd have to deal with that, what with Hizashi busy tending to Iida already, but…
Well, maybe she'd settle down on her own? He watched as she rolled to sit on her behind, shaking her arms up and down upsetly, eyes still wet with thick tears. Already Izuku had stopped playing to come to her side, though he was a little hesitant. Even Tsu had wandered over with her toy to see the girl cry.
He'd give her a minute. Who knows, maybe the other kids could comfort her.
He looked back to Eijiro, grimacing when he found the boy still screaming, running in circles around a tiny boy named Minoru Mineta. The kid was practically half the size of the others and had some strange looking hairdo. Mineta was entranced by Eijiro, following the kids every round.
What the hell did that red head eat?! A pound of sugar this morning!
"HEY MISTER!"
"Yes Sero?" Aizawa asked, face tightening at the boy's volume. Kid was basically right beside him but was screaming like they were on opposite sides of the street.
"HOW COME THEY GET TO FLY?! I WANNA FLY!"
"Fly?" Aizawa echoed, looking to where the boy was pointing-
"Oh shi-!" Aizawa started when he saw both Izuku and Tsu floating one story off the ground! If that wasn't off putting enough as it was they seemed to be steadily rising. They both seemed terribly confused, with Izuku flapping his arms like a headless chicken, crying and kicking his legs, while Tsu was just hugging her frog and watching the ground get farther and farther away with wide eyes.
Thinking quickly Aizawa focused in on Izuku, activating his quirk, wondering if the kid's own quirk had suddenly come in.
Nothing.
He tried it on Tsu.
Nothing. Neither of them were causing the floating!
They were two stories now and Tsu noticed the other boys discomfort, reaching out her free hand to hold his. Izuku practically clung to her like a baby koala. "Its too high! Its too high!" He chanted, hiccuping as he wept, tears floating off his face.
"Kiro?" Tsu was less worried, putting a finger to her chin thoughtfully. Looking back down the girl seemed to study the playground, then opened her mouth. A long tongue shot out, winding around a bar on the play structure, keeping them from going any higher.
Oh thank god!
"Who can make things float!" Aizawa shouted to a stunned Hizashi.
"I dunno!" Hizashi said quickly, looking very concerned. "We need to get them down though!"
Tsu seemed to hear them, as she looked at them both in turn before starting to reel her tongue in with a garbled " -'iro!". Hizashi was quick to begin cheering her on, but Aizawa was more focused on finding who had started this entire mess.
When a toy fire truck floated off into space.
Looking down Aizawa saw a boy, Yuga Aoyama, looking excited as he held out a different car toy to the crying Orchaco, who slapped it away from her, still upset with her skinned knees. Instead of falling out of his hands though, the toy began to float away into the air.
"Impressionnant!" Yuga smiled, pointing up at the floating car as it quickly raised in the air.
"Me next! Me next!" Sero shouted, running to her side and holding out his hand.
Oh hell no.
Aizawa scooped the girl up before either boy could try anything else with her quirk. Orchaco's file said she didn't have one yet! Ah damn it, it just came out, didn't it?! He was fully prepared to erase her quirk once Hizashi had the two other kids safe in his arms. Yet when he checked on Orchaco again, she seemed to reached her limit, facing going a bit… green-
Oh no.
"BLEEEEGGGHHH!"
Aizawa clenched his eyes shut, trying to ignore what was likely all over his shoes. The fire truck came down on his head with a clunk and Aizawa could hear both the other kids yelp when they fell from the sky as well, until Hazashi managed to catch them…
"EEEEWWW! SHE THREW UP ON YOUR-"
"THANK YOU SERO," Aizawa ground out through his teeth.
Ejiro ran past, still screaming happily.
